RSI Day
28/02/2025
Every year, health and safety activists commemorate Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Day.
RSIs, also called Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), are a family of painful disorders that can affect the nerves, muscles, and tendons through the body. That includes the neck, shoulders, upper and lower back, chest, arms, and hands.
There is a strong link between MSDs and known workplace risk factors and hazards, and workers across all industries can suffer from these often debilitating disorders.
Visit the Health & Safety section of our Downloads page to view information on RSIs.
If you believe that pain or an injury is work-related, make sure you speak to your doctor. For more information on filing a workplace injury claim, visit our Injured Workers section.
National Day of Mourning
28/04/2025
In December 1990, the federal government passed the Workers Mourning Day Act, establishing April 28 as a National Day of Mourning.
And while remember and honour those who have lost their lives or who have been forever affected by workplace injuries and illnesses, we must also find renewed purpose and strength in the fight for better workplace health and safety.
Participate in a Day of Mourning commemorative event in your area to hear the stories of other workers. Check with your local labour council or visit the Workers’ Health & Safety Centre for a listing of events across the province.
Every worker deserves to go home healthy at the end of the day.

Injured Workers Day
01/06/2025
Each year on June 1, we mark Injured Workers’ Day and pay respect to the hundreds of workers who have died or become injured while working on their job sites. Injured Workers Day is an opportunity to recognize the individuals who have suffered injuries and fatalities as a result of their workplace conditions.
We must stand together to acknowledge and support the workers who have lost their lives or been seriously injured as a result of hazardous workplaces. The day is an opportunity to collectively demand the provincial government ensure that workers’ safety is a priority and to pass legislation that ensures the well-being of every worker in the province. Together, we can save lives and prevent workplace injuries.
Across the country, Unions, injured workers and other activists rally to help bring awareness to injured workers and the struggles they face in getting fair compensation for their injuries and illnesses. Annual events include overnight vigils, rallies, marches, guest speakers, and panel discussions.
Join us and help us stand up for the rights of Injured Workers!
